Student of or student at?

For the end of my thank you letter, I have:

Sincerely,

"my name"

Student of UBC

or should it be

Student at UBC?

I would use "at" in any case where you refer to a place/name, while using "of" when you refer to a subject/field of study. I am guessing UBC is an institution, like a university. Hence: You are a student at UBC.
